Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 5210739, member: 7511"] It depends on what numbers you’re looking at. For arguments sake let’s take Betts out of the equation. She’s a true Big who’s got better numbers when it comes to shooting percentage, rebounds and blocks. Let’s take a look at Paige along with the other 1st team players (Hidalgo, Watkins & Booker), specifically in relationship to efficiency. Paige leads the country in A/TO ratio at 3.89. The others are nowhere in the top 50. Paige is 45th in the country on FG% at 53.89%. The others are nowhere in the top 50. Paige is 22nd in the nation in FT percentage at 89%. Hidalgo is 42nd. Watkins & Booker outside the top 50 Paige is shooting 40.08 from the arc which places her in 47th nationally. Hidalgo is 45th. Watkins & Booker outside the top 50. Hidalgo is 4th in the nation in steals per game. The other players, including Paige are outside the top 50. So here’s my point. Watkins & Booker are both high volume shooters who score a lot of points. Hidalgo is a more complete player. But no one in the country does more for her team, on the court, than Paige, and that doesn’t even consider her leadership ability. [/QUOTE]
